Afraid of disturbing Hu Shi, Brother Wang went outside to make a phone call.

For half an hour, they still couldn't find a suitable person.

If someone were to show their face, with such high standards, perhaps they could find a suitable person.

But they had no chance to appear on screen, and the requirements were high. The director didn't dare to use female dance students who didn't know their background.

I'm afraid that if something goes wrong in the future, it will be even more troublesome.

The director had no other choice but to turn to Brother Wang.

"I did contact a few actresses, but their agents just wanted to make an appearance without paying, as a favor."

Upon hearing this, Brother Wang neither agreed nor disagreed, but simply snorted coldly.

"I have no objection. If you think it's okay, then it's fine."

"However, I would like to remind you that it is best to ask the advertisers if they agree, in case the footage is unusable and we, Hu Shi, will not come back to reshoot it."

High-end jewelry brought an actress he had never worked with into the spotlight.

Once the advertisement is released, there will likely be a lot of press releases.

Luxury brands carefully consider their choice of brand ambassadors.

Even Hu Shi, with Lu Mingxu taking the lead, spent nearly half a year investigating before signing a one-year contract.

The director rubbed his face and tapped his head. "I'm so confused."

"It seems we can't film today."

Upon hearing this, Brother Wang glanced at his watch and said, "Since we can't take the photos, I'll take Hu Shi back first."

The director looked distressed, while the assistant director suddenly seemed to remember something.

"Wait a minute, I wonder if I could borrow Professor Hu's assistant?"

The director and Brother Wang both looked at the assistant director: "Who?"

The assistant director pointed to Pei Zhi, who had just come out of the dressing room wearing a mask.

"She is Teacher Hu's assistant."

"I think her figure and height are just right, and she has a great temperament. She's only showing her back, not her face, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

The director couldn't help but take a closer look at Pei Zhi, noticing her slender figure and fair skin on her neck and wrists.

"Brother Wang, go and ask around. If it's suitable, we'll prepare to start filming immediately."

Brother Wang looked troubled, seemingly reluctant.

The director immediately clasped his hands together and pleaded, "There's really no other way. Even if we find someone temporarily, it'll probably be too late for them to come."

"Not to mention, you can't find someone as suitable as that right now."

Brother Wang glanced around and found that there was indeed no one with a better figure than Pei Zhi.

It's impossible to find a female celebrity with good looks for someone like this who doesn't show their face.

"Please help us, if we can't shoot the commercial today, we won't be able to explain it to the advertisers."

Since things had come to this point, Brother Wang could only nod.

"I'll go ask her and see if she agrees or not."

"Just tell her how much money she wants, and we'll do our best to meet it."

Brother Wang just shook his head. If only this ancestor could be appeased with money.

In the dressing room, Brother Wang told Hu Shi and Pei Zhi about the director's ideas.

"no."

"How much?"

Hu Shi and Pei Zhi answered simultaneously.

Hu Shi looked at Pei Zhi and said, "You're so short of money, are you going to compromise your principles for a few bucks? Isn't the salary I'm paying you enough?"

Pei Zhi shrugged. "Who would complain about having too much money?"

Brother Wang coughed lightly, "I'm going to show my back, but don't worry, I won't show anything else except my back."

"As for the price, because we're in a hurry this time, I can get you a price that's close to that of a third-tier celebrity."

Pei Zhi readily agreed: "Okay."

"No, that won't work."

Hu Shih sternly refused, saying, "She's no good. Even if we can't find anyone to film today, she still won't do it."

"Why can't I do it?"

Pei Zhi retorted, "Am I not good enough?"

"It's not a matter of your body shape, you're just not good enough."

Pei Zhi was displeased. "Are you denying me?"

Hu Shih was practically begging Pei Zhi, "Grandma, I'm begging you."

"It wasn't easy for me to get to where I am in this industry. Don't let me be blacklisted just because I'm working with you."

Pei Zhi said with a half-smile, "I didn't expect that I wouldn't even be able to show my back now?"

Pei Zhi shook her head and sighed, "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have come back in the first place."

Hu Shi understood the implication in Pei Zhi's words and quickly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, take the pictures however you want, alright?"

Hu Shi really didn't dare to provoke Pei Zhi anymore.

If he upset Pei Zhi, this person would turn around and leave.

Wouldn't he be doomed then?

Pei Zhi doesn't need to show her face; she just needs to change into a backless dress.

The clothes were normal, just a halter-neck, backless dress.

It's a perfectly normal dress; perhaps Hu Shi's mind was corrupt, and he saw everything as corrupt.

Pei Zhi's hair was tied into a bun, which completely exposed her back.

When filming officially began, Hu Shih felt extremely uncomfortable.

Originally, Hu Shih's hand should have been placed on the actress's waist.

You don't need to hug her tightly; just hold her gently.

The photographer will focus on photographing the rings and bracelets that Hu Shi is wearing.

Since Pei Zhi's face was not shown, Hu Shi's facial expressions became especially important.

"No, this one won't work."

The director shook his head repeatedly, "Mr. Hu, your facial expression is too tense, a bit stiff. Relax a little."

This isn't the first time the director has worked with Hu Shi.

Hu Shih performed like a complete novice, his expression completely tense and unnatural.

Hu Shi responded with a sound of agreement, but his body wouldn't allow it.

Hu Shih's body was still very stiff, and he really didn't dare to get close to Pei Zhi.

They filmed for half an hour straight, but didn't get a single usable shot.

The director could only say helplessly, "Let's pause for now and take a 15-minute break."

Continuing to film like this would just be a waste of footage.

Brother Wang knew it was Hu Shi's fault, and he apologized to the director several times.

"Hu Shi, what's wrong with you?"

Hu Shih shrugged. “I really can’t help it. I get really flustered whenever I get close to her.”

"What's there to panic about? Just treat Pei Zhi like a stranger. If you don't know her and don't look at her face, that'll be fine, right?"

"We have to finish filming the commercial today no matter what, and show some professionalism."

Pei Zhi leaned against the side and made sarcastic remarks, "Hu Shi, your professional skills aren't up to par either."

"Yes, yes, I'm not professional enough. I got to where I am today entirely because of unspoken rules."

Hu Shih put his hands together and said, "I'm going to have a smoke to calm down."

Brother Wang urged, "Hurry up."

Hu Shih grabbed his coat and went to the emergency exit.

Hu Shih was thinking that if Xie Cinian and Lu Mingxu found out that he and Pei Zhi had filmed an advertisement, what would happen?

They probably won't do anything to him, right? He's innocent; it was Pei Zhi who initiated it.

But Hu Shih also knew very well that those men were very hypocritical.

Pei Zhi is never wrong; the only ones who are wrong are the others.
